And the fact that her mind settles in response to it rather than churning with panic or glee or strange and giddy pride is all the more reason for him to covet her for it.

Jack raises his eyebrows and releases her, reading the trouble in her expression and meeting it with the quiet patience of a man who knows not to question it.
"Go on," he urges.
